Summary:
The following is a small user-interface problem with the Save Project
As dialog box in Microsoft Visual Basic programming system version 1.0
for Windows.
If you currently have a project loaded in Visual Basic and, from a
simultaneous DOS session in Windows, you delete that project and its
subdirectory, then the next Save Project As command will incorrectly
display an empty Directories list box. Subsequent Save Project As
commands correctly show the Directories list box.
Microsoft has confirmed this problem in Microsoft Visual Basic
programming system version 1.0 for Windows. We are researching this
problem and will post new information here as it becomes available.
More Information:
The following steps reproduce the problem.
1. Go to a DOS prompt and change directory to the Visual Basic
directory (CHDIR \VB). From this directory, make a new directory
with the MKDIR command; for example, MKDIR TEST.
2. Now go back into Windows. From Visual Basic's File menu, choose
Save Project As. Choose Yes to save the form as Form1.Frm. Next,
save the form under the following path:
C:\VB\TEST\Form1.Frm
3. After you press ENTER or choose OK, another message will display,
asking you to save the Project1.Mak. Choose OK, and enter the path:
C:\VB\TEST\Project1.Mak
4. Minimize Visual Basic and activate a DOS prompt box from Windows.
From the directory C:\VB\TEST you should see the Project1.Mak and
Form1.Frm files. Delete these files with DEL *.* and answer Y.
Change directories to the C:\VB directory (CHDIR ...). Remove the
TEST directory with the command RMDIR TEST. Now EXIT from DOS and
return to your Visual Basic session within Windows.
5. Now try to save the project by choosing Save Project As. A message
will correctly state "Path not found: 'C:\VB\TEST'". Choose OK;
then you will see a Save Project As window displayed with an empty
"File Name", but the "Directories" list box will incorrectly be
blank. The problem is minor, since subsequent Save Project As
commands correctly display directories in the "Directories" list
box.
